The No-Name Galaxy was a bountiful treasure trove waiting to be explored and excavated for all its worth. While the division of regions was chaotic and shifting with the times, this mattered not to the overabundance of resources throughout each and every region, often hoarded by top-tier forces on a national, continental, planetary, and star system scale.
Normally, trying to acquire resources was difficult without connections, and while the connections of Yasmine and Aziza's respective homelands were set, the others needed some direct methods to establish. Wei Wuyin took the route of divide and conquer, listing various renowned treasures across the galaxy, and assigning Ascendants to seek out and retrieve these either through discovery, bartering with alchemical products and wealth that he provided them, or by an iron fist to those more stubborn.
